34Dean -
About 10 years ago I picked up a pair of Bowers & Wilkins DM604s locally on Craigslist for $250 (a steal). They were absolutely amazing speakers, particularly for the money. They are 90db and I recall having powered them w/ a 100WPC Denon AVR at the time and that was plenty to fill a large room. If you can find a set locally at a good price, they're going to be pretty tough to beat for under $500.
BTW - It's a 3-way floor-stander w/ two 7" woofers and are good down to 30Hz.
